Rear logo modded with subtle change (pics added)
I took off my rear scion emblem and took out the pieces that go from the top to the bottom.
Basically it just says scion and it very clean looking compared to the stock logo.
So all I have is the oval with the word scion across it.
I cut out the pieces roughly and then used a needle file set for the finishing touches and then painted it silver where I worked on it.
I can get some pics for those who have interest.
The only downside is the indentation can be seen very little below the word scion that was once covered before.
Still thinking of using a lexus emblem but placing it on upside down.

For some reason those squiglies irritate the hell out of me. When I drive I am just thinking about how to change the one on the steering wheel.
I believe it is molded around the squiglies on the steering wheel so I am out of luck I think. I do not want to mess it up trying just yet.

Should not be a problem doing it right just need to get annoyed enough to take it off and spend the time playing with it.
The rear emblems are a bit odd in what they used to make them. Upon heating them using a plastic cutter out comes white plastic and the silver you see if a almost a thin metal film which is much harded. My other emblems I played with on other cars were just typical black plactics.
No sweat though
emblems are cheap anyways if i decide to go stock.
